Story Of eurvivor Of Whaling Snip
Lost In the Arctic 0oa.

Story Of surv1vor Of Whaling ship
Lost In the Aretie sss.
San FRANCISCO. September 34.-Full de.
tails have been received hsrs Of the rescue
OF sailor named Vincent, who is the only
survivor Of the whaling bark Napoleon,
lost in the Arctic seas three years ago. The
rescue OF Vincent was effected by the
United States revenue ship Bear, - related
in former dispatches, In an Indian village,
near Cape Navarin. Vincent was in q
deplorable condition when rescued. The
miserable Indian clothing which partially
covered him was tied upon his body in
order to keep it from falling of and his
head was shaved in Indian style. When
propt rly clothed and nouriahed the IN
fortunate man was able to give the
HISTORY OF HIS TERRIBLE suFFERrNss.
When tho whaling bark Napoleon, OF which
be was one OF the crew. was crushed in the
ice, all hands took to the boats, without
procuring provisions OF any description
Soon after leaving the bark, the boats be
came separated, the one in which Vincent
was and another going together. Each o.
these boats contained nine men, who were
sometimes on the ice and sometimes in
boats, for many days. During this time
their food consisted solely OF two small
raptured seals and the leather OF their
boots. The weather was bitterly cold, and
their hands, feet, arms and noses bees me
frozen and dropped Oh. When the boats
FINALLY REACHED SHORE
only Ave OF the eighteen men composing
their crews remained. OF these Vincent waa
the only one who was able to walk. Two
OF the men who landed died shortly after
going ashore, and the native reported that
of these two mon the surviving one ate the
flesh of the body Of his dead companion.
Vincent, a mate and sailor then alone re-
mained. The two latter succumbed to
death the first winter, and Vincent WAS Jeff
among the natives. He had lived witRsthe
Indians for two years and hall, and when
at last succored by, Captain: :Healy, he was
a most pitiable spectacle ofhumanity.
